Just found this and thought some of the hams here might be interested (Marcspaz !) http://w7dbo.net/dbo/documents/nvisBook.pdf

Thanks!

148 pages. I'm 16 in. Should be interesting to finish up.

Yes. I have seen some on Amazon that claim up to two watts on 22 channels. However, I was wondering what regulation you were citing in your comment that it would be illegal to speak Spanish on FRS? There is a requirement that GMRS station IDs be made in English or Morse code. But, the only other reference I can find to language in Part95 is in subpart-A - General Rules for the Personal Radio Services Plain language voice communications. Voice communications without codes or coded messages intended to provide a hidden meaning. Foreign languages and commonly known radio operating words and phrases, such as “ten four” and “roger,” not intended to provide a hidden meaning, are not considered codes or coded messages.

I believe that is marketing-speak for: The supplier of the CCRs we use has proposed a change in the software we use in the products we OEM from them

I have had a Kenwood tk-481 and tk-981 for a couple years and only 2 others here in Williamsport, PA had and we would play around on simplex. In May this year we were blessed with a high repeater. Since then we are up to about 10 people. Its getting more use than the other repeaters around.
